Fantasy Football: Jahmyr Gibbs was the MVP of the 2024 Season
If you were lucky enough to draft Jahmyr Gibbs last year, you probably remember the waiting game. The guy had all the talent but shared the spotlight with David Montgomery. Fast forward to this season? No waiting, no patience needed—Gibbs hit the ground running.
Let’s talk numbers: Gibbs has been unstoppable. He’s either scored a touchdown or racked up over 100 scrimmage yards in every single game this year. Yep, you heard that right. His 16 total touchdowns (13 on the ground, three through the air) and 1,759 scrimmage yards? Those are top-five stats in the entire league.
Early in the season, Gibbs wasn’t exactly hogging touches in consecutive games. That changed when Montgomery went down with a knee injury. Suddenly, the Gibbs show was in full swing, and fantasy managers were eating it up—just in time for those critical playoff weeks (aka the money rounds).
Gibbs Went Off in the Fantasy Playoffs
- Week 15 vs. Buffalo Bills: 28.4 PPR points (RB2 of the week)
- Week 16 vs. Chicago Bears: 25.4 PPR points (RB7 of the week)
- Week 17 vs. San Francisco 49ers: 26.3 PPR points (RB2 of the week)
From Week 15 through 17, Gibbs was the RB1 in full PPR scoring. The guy was unreal. He carried fantasy squads to championship glory with a ridiculous consistency that other RBs just couldn’t match.
Want proof? He was the only running back to score more than 20 fantasy points in all three playoff weeks across any format. Other top RBs? Yeah, they had a dud or two somewhere in there. Not Gibbs. He was steady, reliable, and downright dominant.
What Made Gibbs a True League Winner?
For starters, he peaked when it mattered most. The playoffs are where fantasy legends are made, and Gibbs didn’t just show up—he carried the team. Whether it was slicing through defenses or catching key passes, he was everywhere.
Oh, and let’s not forget that workhorse role. With Montgomery sidelined, Gibbs got all the touches—and made them count. The matchups? Perfect. The results? Even better.
So, here’s to Jahmyr Gibbs, the undisputed fantasy football MVP of 2024. If you had him on your team, congrats—you probably have a shiny new trophy to show off. If you didn’t? Well, there’s always next year.
